Book excerpt: Excerpt from Good Old Stories for Boys and Girls No apology would seem to be required for re printing Richard Hengist Horne's admirable story The good-natured Bear, which Thackeray called one of the wittiest, pleasantest, and kindest of books. With this have been associated other stories and poems, most of them by well-loved writers for children m the mid-nineteenth century. Though endeavoring to make the selection repre sentative, care has been taken to choose those stories most likely to interest boys and girls of to-day and also to obtain as much variety as possible, both in character and in scene. Some of the selections are of a fairy tale nature, some legendary, and others are realistic stories of life in different countries.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Top-of-the-World: Stories for Boys and Girls Not for my dear usual public of little children have I gathered these stories from Scandinavian authors, but for boys and girls who have reached a stage which warrants a rather free range in Story Land. For here are to be encountered creatures and events, deeds and ideas, unsuited to youngest readers, but which have legitimate attraction for boys and girls from nine to fourteen years old - the age varying according to the child's maturity and previous reading. Five of these stories were written by the noted Finnish author, Zachris Topelius, who wrote them, and much else, for the children of Finland and Sweden more than fifty years ago. His loving sympathy for children, and his earnest desire to write only what was wholesome and good for them, shine through all his literary work for the young.

Download or read book Fifty Two More Stories for Boys Classic Reprint written by W. H. G. Kingston and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-23 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fifty-Two More Stories for Boys While nature keeps up the supply of boys and girls, men and women must keep pace with their requirements, and it behoves us all, whether tailors or editors, to rise to our responsibilities in providing clothing for their bodies and food for their minds. That our supplies should exceed the demand no one need fear: the modern boy has developed a prowess for the destruction of clothing, and a voracity in the assimila tion of fiction, that his father never knew; and were it not that his own career is full of the life and incident from which stories may be made for the boy next door, the author and the editor might well fear the exhaustion of materials. Some one has said that the story of any life must be of interest; and if this be true we have only to pass our life stories on from door to door, receiving from the neighbour on our left, and handing on to the neighbour on our right, in order to keep up a continual supply of stories so numerous as to be utterly exhaustless, for by the time our own story has circulated the world, and come back to the old home once more, the house will be empty and the tenant gone.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Boys and I: A Child's Story for Children And little Racey had fallen asleep too, lying at the foot of my bed. He hadn't been kept away from us because of what Tom called the affection of the measles, for the old doctor said he had better get it too and have it over. But he didn't get it, and if ever I have children I shall not do that way with them. I'll try and keep them from having any illnesses at all, for I don't believe we're forced to have them. I think mother thought so too, but she didn't like to contradict the doctor; because he was so old she thought he must know best. And after all it didn't matter, as Racey didn't get the measles. I really must try to go straight ou - I keep going back when other things come into my head, so it isn't so easy to write things down nicely as I thought it was.

This book was released on 2018-11-24 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories From a Wonder-Book for Girls and Boys The stories that you are to read in this book are some of the oldest and most beautiful in the world. Long, long ago they were told by Greek mothers to their children, and even in those days they were old. When they were first imagined nobody can tell, nor know for certain what they first meant. Some learned men in our own times have fancied that they were not stories about real people that lived in the world, but about sun and stars, about sky and clouds and wind and sea, about day and night and the passing seasons. They have thought that as men and women in the childhood of the world watched the wonderful changes that pass over the face of sky and land and sea, they explained those changes to themselves as scenes in the lives of mysterious beings, gods in Shape like unto men, but in power infinitely greater. Others, again, have held that Hercules and Bellerophon were real heroes, and Midas a real king, and that after their death the fame of their valour and riches grew into the marvellous legends that you will read here.
